Gettysburg marker

[stu613]

Can anyone help me identify this marker? I took the photo but apparently not good enough to read it. Oak Hill is just off to the right of the picture. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where would this be in relationship to the tower?

That's Wadsworth's Division Marker on Reynolds Ave, north of the Chambersburg Pike.

Edited to say: Opps sorry, Wadsworth is on the other side of the road.

I really messed that up. It's a newer monument relative to the rest stating the following.

1863-1963.
The land upon which our ancestors fought donated in memory of the Army of the Potomac, July 1, 2, 3.
The War, Library and Museum and the Pennsylvania Commanders both of the Military Order and the Loyal Legion od the United States.
I believe that means it honors the officers.

ok, thanks- that may explain why I could not find it on the Trailgraphics map. So this is a Army of the Potomac marker not a Wadsworth?

You can also Google "Stone Sentinels Gettysburg". That site is very helpful for identifying markers at Gettysburg.

Yes that's correct and you're welcome. I can't find it at any of the typical sources including Stone Sentinels. It's a "newer" monument, meaning it was erected after I stopped guiding. I had to search videos by NPS, CW Trust, Guide walks and talks, and others until finally locating it on an NPS walking tour that passed by it during a review of Davis's brigade on the first day.
